About this map

New Cambria sits at the edge of this landscape where the eastern plains of Linn County begin to break into the drainage basins of central Missouri. The map records a series of rural communities including Lingo and Hart, which are connected by a network of named country roads such as Bison St and Brimstone Rd. This area is characterized by its numerous small-scale water systems, notably the Mussel Fork and Brush Creek which wind through the township.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including the Brush Creek Cemetery, Saint Mary Cemetery, and Mount Zion Cemetery. The presence of White Lake Dam and Number 37 Lake indicates the importance of managed water resources in this agricultural corridor. The intricate network of local labels, from Tuttle Cemetery to Hickory Branch, provides a clear view of the land divisions and family landmarks as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
